    got a dual faucet tower (used) and one of the faucets clearly has the brand name "Perlick" written on it. Both look almost identical. Even the internals look the same. Are there Perlick faucets that do not have the brand name written on it, or is this a knockoff or something? Anyway, want to get new gaskets for both of them... Will the 408 gaskets work in this faucet?

    there was a company a couple years back that used to make something like perlick. If I remember right, they were sued into oblivion for stealing the idea. You may have one of those, I remember people actually liking them better than the perlicks

    And yet neither of those faucets looks like the forward-sealing perlicks that I am familiar with. I didn't realize they made standard faucets like that.
    I'm pretty sure the replicas that resulted in the lawsuit were ventmatic, which looked like the forward-seal perlicks.

    Thanks for the info... They are rear sealing (if that is a term)... The style you are thinking of just have a ball type valve that seals on the front of the faucet. w/ no inline shaft. these have more moving parts and seal on the base of the faucet near the threads.

    Any other info anyone has on these would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    If you got the tower used, my guess would be that the previous owner replaced one faucet at some point, and what you have is one perlick faucet and one generic.
